GCC 4.0.2 is old and not actively maintained any more.  Can you reproduce the
problem with version 4.3.5 or newer, ideally with trunk?

For what it's worth, this report is *not* invalid.

I'm attempting to cross-compile libstdc++-v3 from FreeBSD 9.0 to ARMv5 using
gcc 4.6.3 (the latest of the 4.6 series) and I'm hitting this error too.

In fairness, it's a patched version of gcc 4.6.3 to target Android on ARM. 
This was an attempt to extend the existing lang/gnatdroid-armv5 cross-compiler
port on FreeBSD to include c++, objC, and Fortran.

The commonality between the original report and mine is the cross-compile. 
maybe that's the case where the configure test is lacking.

Adding "--disable-sjlj-exceptions" to the configure options will get one past
this error on the android/arm target.
